Three Years Later, He Came Back Begging novel Chapter 102

Lawrence noticed Bonnie's wrists were turning red from the cold. Her ears were pink, too, and the wind was only making things worse. He looked at her with real concern. “Let’s talk in the car. You’re not dressed warm enough.”

Bonnie felt drained. She wasn't about to get stuck in a small space with him. Her patience was shot. “If you don’t have anything to say, let me go. If you do, then spit it out. I don’t have time for this, and I don’t want to stand here arguing with you.”

Lawrence pressed his lips together, knowing perfectly well just how stubborn she could be. He took off his suit jacket and tried to put it over her shoulders.

Bonnie didn’t even flinch. She brushed his hand away. The jacket dropped right onto the dirty sidewalk.

Lawrence stared at it on the ground for a long time before finally looking up. “Are you with Aiken now?”

Bonnie gave him a sharp look. “Don’t even think about messing around. His job isn’t something you can just mess with. If you try anything, that’s a crime. Get it?”

Lawrence acted like he hadn’t heard a word. He kept going, refusing to let it go. “So you are together?”

Bonnie held his gaze, taking her time before answering. “Yeah. We’re dating.”

Hearing that hit Lawrence hard. His eyes filled with tears so fast he couldn't hide it. His face twisted with jealousy and hurt.

Bonnie’s heart skipped. Lawrence wasn’t acting like himself anymore.

She took another step back, but he moved closer, his voice shaking. “Can you break it off with him? Candie, please, break up with him.”

Helplessness washed over her. She'd explained herself so many times, but he just never got it. He was cornering her, and she felt herself coming apart at the seams.

“What do you even want from me? Who I date is my choice. It has nothing to do with you. Can't you just leave me alone? Take care of your own life and stop dragging me into this.”
